Caring for all Australians through people and partnerships

Caring for all Australians has always been a focus for the Fresh Food People. We believe in bringing a little good to everyone, everyday, and we can only achieve this through the incredible work of our people and our partnerships. Whether it is helping provide nourishment and care for people experiencing food insecurity, emergency assistance for communities impacted by natural disasters, or funding support for our children's hospital, all of this can only be achieved through our network of local, state and national charity partners.

We believe that good food shouldn’t go to waste—especially when the demand for food relief remains high. That’s why we are proud to be the National Food Rescue Partner of OzHarvest.

Through our long-standing partnership, we work side-by-side to bridge the gap between food waste and food insecurity. By diverting surplus fresh food from our stores to those who need it most, we aren’t just reducing our environmental footprint, we’re helping OzHarvest provide millions of meals to local charities and communities across the country.

When natural disasters strike, the spirit of "The Fresh Food People" extends far beyond our store doors. Our S.T.A.N.D (Supporting Those Affected by Natural Disasters) program is built on a simple promise: to stand with our communities before, during, and after a crisis.

Through our enduring partnerships with The Salvation Army, Rural Aid, Foodbank and Lifeline, we provide support to Australians facing the devastating impacts of drought, floods, and bushfires.

Every child deserves the best possible start in life. We are incredibly proud to partner with leading children’s charities across Australia to provide life-changing equipment and services for kids and their families.

From funding world-class hospital care to providing grants for children living with disabilities, our partnerships are about more than just donations—they are about creating a brighter, healthier future for the next generation.

Beyond our major national programs, Woolworths is proud to partner with a diverse range of organisations that tackle unique challenges facing our people, our wildlife, and our planet. From promoting social inclusion to protecting our native ecosystems, these partnerships reflect our commitment to a better tomorrow.
